Onset Maximization

Norwegian favors maximizing consonant clusters in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'km' in 'kilometer').

Vowel Breakup

Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable (e.g., 'go-dt' in 'godtgjøring').

Sonority Sequencing

Syllable boundaries tend to occur where sonority decreases (e.g., after a vowel).

  • The 'dtg' cluster is a potential point of variation in pronunciation, with some speakers potentially inserting a schwa /ə/ to break it up, but the standard pronunciation does not include this.
